SUMMARY:Displaced by Weather in Southeast Asia
DESCRIPTION:On 30 May at 6 PM – 7.30 PM\, SEA Junction will hold a panel discussion on the impact of environmental degradation\, climate change and natural disaster on human mobility (displacement\, migration and planned relocation) in Southeast Asia – a region most exposed to both sudden- and slow-onset disasters\, including floods\, typhoons\, earthquakes\, volcano’s eruptions\, droughts\, and landslides. Natural hazards create hardship and humanitarian crisis\, which often lead to forced migration and displacement within and beyond Southeast Asia. A 2014 background paper prepared by the the Nansen Initiative Secretariat for the Southeast Asia Regional Consultation at Ateneo de Manila University estimated that in the 5 preceding years a total of 24.55 million people were displaced in Southeast Asian countries\, especially Indonesia and the Philippines\, of whom the largest majority internally. People are uprooted from their land and homes and have to leave in temporary settlements or migrate in search of new homes and livelihoods. \nThe panel will provide an overview of the complex causes\, dynamics and magnitude of climate-change induced mobility and explore community vulnerability\, adaptation\, resilience and sustainability in the context of displacement. Attention will also be given to the region’s overall preparedness and response to disasters and the national and regional mechanisms in place to provide protection and assistance to displaced persons. The lack of a comprehensive global and ASEAN framework to protect “climate refugees” will also be discussed and possible alternative measures examined.  \nThe tentative program of the panel discussion is as follows: \nPanel Discussion “Displaced by Weather”\n30 May at 6 PM – 7.30 PM \nModerator:\nRosalia Sciortino\, Introduction to the panel\nDirector SEA Junction & Assoc.
